In France the movement towards open access received significant institutional support from the beginning. For example, two major research organisations were among the initial signatories of the Berlin Declaration.
The French situation is characterized by the outstanding role, at national level, of the HAL open archive, as well as several publicly funded initiatives in favour of open access publishing in the humanities and social sciences.
Common policies are currently defined and starting to be implemented within the framework of the BSN (Digital Scientific Library) programme, launched by the Ministry of Research and Higher Education.
MedOANet is likely to give additional impact to these developments.

En France le mouvement du Libre accès a reçu depuis le début un soutien institutionnel important. Ainsi deux organismes de recherche majeurs ont été parmi les premiers signataires de la Déclaration de Berlin.
La situation française est caractérisée par le rôle prépondérant joué, au niveau national, par l’archive ouverte HAL, de même que par plusieurs initiatives, financées sur fonds publics, en faveur de l’édition en Libre accès dans les sciences humaines et sociales.
Des politiques communes sont actuellement définies et commencent à être implémentées dans le cadre du programme de la BSN (Bibliothèque Scientifique Numérique), lancé par le Ministère de l’enseignement supérieur et de la recherche.
MedOANet va probablement avoir un impact supplémentaire sur ces développements.

In Greece Open Access to research has been enabled mainly through EU and national funding for digitization projects during the last decade. The last five years have witnessed the development of institutional repositories and open access journals. Today, approximately half of the Greek universities run repositories. Lately, alongside the development of infrastructures, coordinated action is being taken for the implementation of such open access policies amongst research performers and research funders that will secure the practice of open access, especially to publicly funded research. MedOANet facilitates the implementation of these policies at the national level.

Στην Ελλάδα η Ανοικτή Πρόσβαση συνδέεται άρρηκτα με έργα ψηφιοποίησης συγχρηματοδοτούμενα από την Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση κατά την τελευταία δεκαετία, μέσω των οποίων διατίθεται μεγάλος όγκος επιστημονικού περιεχομένου. Τα τελευταία πέντε χρόνια έχει γίνει πρόοδος και στην ανάπτυξη ιδρυματικών αποθετηρίων και επιστημονικών περιοδικών ανοικτής πρόσβασης. Σήμερα, περίπου τα μισά πανεπιστήμια διαθέτουν αποθετήριο. Παράλληλα με την ανάπτυξη υποδομών γίνονται συντονισμένες κινήσεις και για την ανάπτυξη πολιτικών Ανοικτής Πρόσβασης στους φορείς χρηματοδότησης και διεξαγωγής έρευνας, οι οποίες θα διασφαλίσουν πραγμάτωση της Ανοικτής Πρόσβασης , ιδιαίτερα στη δημόσια χρηματοδοτούμενη έρευνα. Το έργο MedOANet συμβάλλει στη διαμόρφωση πολιτικών ανοικτής πρόσβασης σε εθνικό επίπεδο.

Open Access in Italy is strongly supported by the Open Access working group within the Conference of Rectors of Italian Universities, and thanks to the commitment of people involved in repositories and OA journals management. In the past five years, repositories and journals had a slow but steady growth: half of Italian universities have an IR, while journals grow of 43% each year, on average. Italian involvement in European projects on Open Access definitely contributed on raising awareness on the importance of OA, and on the need to act at a National level to promote and apply OA policies.

In Italia l’Open Access è sostenuto dalle attività del gruppo di lavoro sull’Open Access in seno alla CRUI e dall’impegno delle persone coinvolte nella gestione di repository istituzionali e riviste OA in atenei ed enti di ricerca. Negli ultimi cinque anni si è assistito alla crescita, lenta ma costante, del numero di riviste e di archivi ad accesso aperto: circa la metà degli atenei italiani è dotata di un IR, mentre il numero delle riviste vede un incremento del 43% annuo. La partecipazione dell’Italia a progetti europei sull’OA ha contribuito sicuramente ad aumentare la consapevolezza dell’importanza dell’accesso aperto, e della necessità di attuare e consolidare politiche sull’OA a livello nazionale, un processo che il progetto MedOANet può facilitare.

Open Access has been growing and consolidating in Portugal since 2003. RepositóriUM of UMinho was the first step. Since 2008, RCAAP (Open Access Scientific Repository from Portugal) has promoted the creation of repositories at research institutions (currently, RCAAPportal aggregates 35 repositories and more than 100 000 documents). Blimunda, started in 2010, helped the definition of self-archiving policies by publishers and their integration in the SHERPA/RoMEO (116 publishers with OA policies). At international level, through UMinho, Portugal has been partner in a range of FP7 OA projects such as: DRIVER II (2007), NECOBELAC (2009), OpenAIRE (2009), OpenAIREplus (2011) e MedOANet (2011).

A Blimunda,iniciado em 2010,facilitou a definição de políticas de auto-arquivo pelos editores científicos ea sua integração no SHERPA/RoMEO (116 editores com políticas de AA). Ao nível internacional, através da UMinho, Portugal tem sido parceiro em diversos projetos de AA financiados pelo 7º PQ da CE entre os quais: DRIVER II (2007), NECOBELAC (2009), OpenAIRE (2009), OpenAIREplus (2011) e MedOANet (2011).
